THE rich strike which was made
over on Yule creek is giving an impc-
tus to prospecting, and is bringing in
quite few parties from Aspen. We
believe we will be able to give reports
Of other discoveries as there is consid-
cradle ground in the district that has
received but lite attention from the
prospector. However it will be proven
whether the ground is of sufficient val

snrety FROM MnIarln.

The most vigorous constitution, and the
strongest physique. are not proof against
a disease. the germs of which impregnate
the air we breath and the water we drink.
The true preparauve, the surcst defense,
is to turtiiy the system with II medicine
which possesses specific virtues as a safe
guard and remedy. Hostetter's Stomach
Buffers is precisely this article-proved by
conclusive tests TO be so. Mt only on
this continent, wherever miasma gives
birth to the malarial infection, but in the
tropics, where fever and ague assumes its
most malignant types, this incompatible,
popular aud deserving medicine has. for
over II third of a century shown its eff
cacy. Chills and fever. dumb ague, bilious
remittent alike yield to its influence and
are prevented by il. The word fall has
no place in the lexicon of possibilities
when this peerless article is used. IL tones
the stomach, arouses the liver when slug
gish and promotes healthful activity OF
the kidneys and bladder.

Were we, in vision, to behold that
wonderful MIioccne age, where as yet no
traces of man have been found, when
vines and magnolias grew in northern
lands. palm trees flourished along the
Hudson river, and long armed apes were
swinging in British, French and German
forests, we are warranted in believing
that we should see birds and quadrupeds
simpler and less interesting than those
which now exist, with habits and instincts
less complex than those of their surviving
representatives which have been for ages
exposed to q struggle for life with man,
or which have been trained to mans
service.
To look upon that pre-human world
would be like looking through the oceans
of the present day. Hunger, fight, flight
and feeding we should have. The horn,
the mailed coat, the heavy hoof, the
poisoned fang, the muscular embrace, the
terrible tooth and beak would be there
doing work which is accomplished now
In these more populous times by bodies
diminished in size and brains increased in
bulk. An examination of mammalian
skulls, from their first appearance in strata
EDWARDS, lends countenance to this argu-
ment; that there has been, on the whole,
a mental Improvement among the birds
and quadrupeds of the northern hemis-
phere.-Gcorgc Jackson in New Orleans

Best Form of Locomotive.

The same diversity of opinion as to the
best form Of locomotive for general use
appears to prevail in England as in
America. While coupled wheels are
mostly preferred for passenger engines,
five feet to six feet six inches diameter, q
few leading American engineers prefer
single drivers, and are disposed to revert
to even seven feet, q diameter which has
been tried and abandoned in the past as
not meeting the expectations entertained
OF it. About fifteen years is the estimated
average life of an American locomotive.
1t is generally admitted that railway
trains in England are driven at n faster
rate of speed than in the United States
say about 90 per cent. in excess of the
latter. There are express trains, how
ever, between some of our principal
cities, that compare favorably with those
in England.-New York Sun.

All the ~shabbiness of the Florida
foliage in winter time vanished in the
light. The palmettoes were lofty palms,
majestic against that sky. The short
twilight passed into night; the sky grew
cold as steel; only a long ray of rosy light
fingered across it, stretching from the
horizon to the zenith. The moon, q sharp
crescent, curved upward at each end, lay
in the track of that ray. From near the
river shore came the sound of q boat load
of negroes, singing in their dialect as
they rowed, and in a strange minor key,
a nasal chant, startingly like the songs OF
crews on the Nile. So startling was it
that my Arab servant, Achmet, who was
with me, exclaimed: at is Arabic they
are singing" and Involuntary began
the familiar chant of the Nile, "Ya
Allah, va M'hammed," and in such per-
feet keeping were scene and sounds. it
somehow did not strike me as odd until 1

why writing Is Poorly Paid.
Why 10 writing such a poorly paid pro
fession?
When it is performed as service, that
is to say, when writers are paid q fixed
amount for n regular task, or when they
are retained, as lawyers are, to advocate
special interests, their salaries are not be-
low the average salaries paid in other de-
partments of business. In either of these
cases they sell n portion of their time or
independence to their employer, perform
ing his work within stated hours, Oh &C
corling to ~dictation, precisely as an &c
countant or a private secretary would do.
OF this kind is n large part of Journal
istic work, which gives reasonably well
paid employment to thousands of men
and women, who arc every day held as
responsible for tho tasks performed by
them as pressmen or compositors are for
theirs.
A very important consideration in de-
termining all regular compensation is the
degree to which the employer exercises
authority over the one employed. The
servant who comes nearest to substitute
ing his masters will in place Of his own
is. all other things being equal, the one
most likely to get high wages and steady
employment. There is a vast deal of
self conscious cant abroad upon this sub
ject. Back of all sophisms of the dignity
of service lies the fact that he who sells
his labor, for the time being, sells him
self. lie may, indeed, choose his own
master. and dispose as he pleases of his
remuneration, but, during the period Of
service, he must surrender his liberty no
less than he would have surrendered it in
the days of villein and serf.-A. II.
